REAL RATINGS
After testing each microphone, I like to know if it sounds realistic (accurate lows/bass, mids, highs/treble) in combination with the recorder and/or AUX. amplifier, to see if it needs EQ.
LOWS/BASS
DO THE "LOWS" SOUND REAL?
MIDS
DO THE "MIDS" SOUND REAL?
HIGHS/TREBLE
DO THE "HIGHS" SOUND REAL?
NOTES:
I do not recommend this combination.
There are a number of reasons why I don't recommend this microphone/audio recorder combination, but the most important is that (at this "CLOSE" proximity) neither the +20 or the +0 work. The reason is that it doesn't work is the audio recorder (which is also a transmitter) does NOT have a way to set the REC. LEVEL, so the MIC. BOOST is the only way to set the level, but when you're at +20, the level is too high (it clips). What's also sad is that at +0, the audio doesn't clip, but it can't be boosted in post WITHOUT REVEALING A LOT OF RFI (Radio Frequency Interference). So essentially, this microphone/audio recorder combination does not work at this "CLOSE" proximity (around 3.5 inches or 8.89 cm).
Remember to always monitor your audio while you're recording (using accurate headphones) because good settings can't fix bad audio. Also, these settings will not establish the exact level you'll need for every scene, but the goal is to provide a good starting point that will become clean, after adjusting in post. Additionally, these "custom settings" are used to make the Microphone-Specific EQ files work (as they won't work as intended if any of they aren't used). The EQ files were created to correct any imperfections of the microphone and/or wind protection (FOAM and/or FURRY) and were made in Audacity (the free audio editor) to make them as affordable & universal as possible.
